Just an eye-wash: Oppn leaders react strongly over BMC budget

Group leaders of opposition parties in the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) have alleged the civic administration of eyewashing Mumbaikars with the new budget. “BMC has hiked the estimated capital expenditure in all of its the infra projects. Revenue generated from last year stands at 40 per cent and I wonder from where BMC will bring money for the proposed projects,” Ravi Raja, leader of the opposition (LoP) in BMC and senior Congress corporator told the Free Press Journal. Prabhakar Shinde, senior corporator and group leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in the BMC stated that the budget has been made without application of mind in revenue generation.
